Re: sand paper vs fibri-mesh paper

A trouble maker huh?

You crack me up!!!!

Under heavy texture I found the mesh adequate though it left those surface grooves. For smooth wall I ended up with straight paper and a sponge (with an industrial respirator).

I tried it but it left scratches everywhere.

Smooth-cut 120 for me.
